This sums up my feelings almost exactly. I don't want LLMs, AI, and eventually Robots to take over the fun stuff. I want them to do the mundane, physical tasks like laundry and dishes, leave me to the fun creative stuff. But as we progress right now, the hype machine is pushing AI to take over art, photography, video, coding, etc. All the stuff I would rather be doing. Where's my house cleaning robot? | ||

I would like to go even further and say: Those things, art, photography, video, coding ... They are forms of craft, human expression, creativity. They are part of what makes life interesting. So we are in the process of eliminating the interesting and creative parts, in the name of profit and productivity maxing (if any!). Maybe we can create the 100th online platform for the same thing soon 10x faster! Wow! Of course this is a bit too black&white. There can still be a creative human being introducing nuance and differences, trying to get the automated tools to do things different in the details or some aspects. Question is, losing all those creative jobs (in absolute numbers of people doing them), what will we as society, or we as humanity become? What's the ETA on UBI, so that we can reap the benefits of what we automated away, instead of filling the pockets of a few? | ||
